it's kind of exciting seeing song titles you know paired with artists you haven't heard and vice versa.

great
The Only Living Boy in New York (love this cover. tbh I didn't even know for a while that this was originally a S&G song (: )

not terrible but so far inferior to the classic originals that I irrationally hate them for it
Africa
Total Eclipse of the Heart

Your Song - v nice!

Iris - oh no no; this is one of the best songs ever, but this cover really ain't it. Karaoke-like.

Cocoa Butter Kisses - Not a fan at all.

Africa - Yeahhhh sure. It's not my favorite Weezer song/cover and I must have missed the hype, but I'll take it.

Against All Odds - Westlife <3 Oh yeah I like this. Both this one and the Phil Collins version are excellent.

Creep - a choir, really? Skipping real fast.

Blue Monday - not liking the try hard vocals... i guess it's... decent-ish.

Moon and Back - Egh lol. I hate covers like this, esp. when it's a cover of such a good song and they destroy it completely. But I honestly love the beat lol. If I end up voting for it, it's for that beat.

Total Eclipse of the Heart - I seem to like every single cover of this song. This one's almost more out of tune than the notorious Guster cover.

Lady In Black - Nice one. Not my cup of tea and I hate it when the fast drums set in, but I kinda like this.

The Only Living Boy in New York - Super nice.

Your Song by Ellie Goulding
--This is an interesting version of this song. Not sure if it'll get a vote or not yet.

Iris by Diamante & Breaking Benjamin
--Cover better than the original? Yes, yet it is. I really enjoy the juxtaposition of female voices against rock music.

Cocoa Butter Kisses by The Stairwells
--I didn't recognize the original at all, so I looked it up. Chance the Rapper, huh. Listed to that version, and well, I think this one is better. Doesn't mean I'll vote for it, but we'll see.

Africa by Weezer
--This version is just too soft for my preferences. I like the original and other versions of this song better than this one.

Against All Odds by Mariah Carey & Westlife
--Not a bad version of this song. This list is looking like I'm going to have a lot of songs right on the cusp of getting votes or not.

Creep by Scala and Kolacny Brothers
--Quit trying to make Creep happen. It's not going to happen.

Blue Monday by Orgy
--Yes, 1000x yes. I sometimes forget this isn't the original version of this song, I've heard it so many times.

Moon and Back by Maison & Clivr
--Better than the original, and it's not close.

Total Eclipse of the Heart by The Dan Band
--This song was ok, and then a random 'fuck' came out of nowhere, and I got interested...lol.

[commercial break -- spotify has decided I smell bad (georgio armani), need to switch to geico (thanks lisa loeb), and need to open another credit card (discover)]

Lady In Black by Ensiferum
--I need to hear this song a couple more times to really figure out what is going on. You get my vote for now.

The Only Living Boy in New York by Kishi Bashi
--Nope.

Herm has the cutest post in the history of this

Thanks!

I was in a rush. lol I didn't read everything I was supposed to before I asked the question.

Your Song - I've liked this song since I first heard it. It is a really good version. I will probably vote for it?

Iris - I don't know how anyone can hate the original. This cover stays pretty true to the original but has more of an edge and the dual vocals is a plus.

Cocoa Butter Kisses - I don't know this song. I'm not sure I like it? At least it's under 2.5 minutes. I don't really like the original either (I am checking it out as I type this), but I did enjoy Chance The Rapper's interview on one of the earliest episodes of The Kelly Clarkson Show lol

Africa - The original is good. This is very similar. So it's not bad, but it's nothing really new or different.

Against All Odds - pretty sure I know who submitted this song. Westlife is one of the better boy bands that have ever existed. I like a lot of their music :P so I have heard this many times before, and bonus Mariah. I like it enough to vote for it.

Creep - okay, I was curious to hear this one because of people hating on it lol. Obviously the Radiohead song is classic and there's a reason this song is covered so much. It's a good song. It's interesting to hear the choir dropping the F bombs. :P I do hope it's not just this choir the whole time though. Oh, it is.

Blue Monday - this is such a great cover of a great song.

Moon & Back - oh man, the original is so good. This cover is enjoyable enough but makes me want to listen to the original. This one doesn't even come close to Darren Hayes' vocals.

Total Eclipse Of The Heart - oh, this is better than I was expecting! Oh yeah, it's real good to my ears.

Lady in Black - This isn't what I normally listen to but I can dig it.

The Only Living Boy in New York - This was a nice listen, and a good way to close out the playlist.

Now to figure out how I'm voting.
